Gonna but the single wing sl grill with the districtic logo...

Planning ahead...

Anyone know what kind of black matte paint to use? Do I have to spray some sort of primer on the grill itself first???

I used Dupli-color Perfer Match (automotive paint) to paint the grill. You can buy the paint from autozone, walmart or kragen. Clean the surface w/ rubbing alcohol (you may want to sand the surface w/ sand paper if the surface is rough and dirty), then paint a layer or two of primer, followed by 3 layers of paint, and then a 3 layers of clear coat.

i would use plasti-dip only because its easily removed and easy re-applied. plus, you just dip the damn thing lol

Cool. You could always plasti dip it and make sure you like it before painting.

hey those of you whom have your rain sensor strip on the hood painted black how'd you do it? any ideas? plasti dip a good idea?

dynomite05

I had my shop paint it. I did it myself the first time but it started to peel after a while. You could use plasti dip, but it will come out matte not gloss.

Question for you plasti dippers, if the front grille was painted with plasti dip, would it do a great god at resisting rock chips or would it peel and flake off in short order?

Wes - how is your plasti dipped hood emblem holding up?

dynomite05

It's holding up great. No chips in it. Then again I barely drive.

Kevwood

Good stuff, I rember that it turned out very well the second time around.

dynomite05

Yup, much better. Has held up good through a few car washes also.
